NS FEW VIEWS, By Eric Wesslby, Sports Editor Lacrosse is enjoying a tremendous revival in many parts of Ontario, mainly through the hard work of men such as Jim Bishop, Fred Whalley, Ivan Davie, George Duddin and George Hammond, and, so far, their efforts are paying off handsomely at the box office, whick is, of course, the one thing that makes any sport click. This area is fortunately blessed with two of the top lacrosse attractions in the country, Oshawa Green Gaels and Brooklin Redmen. Both attracted good crowds. to games this week, the junior Gaels at Mimico and senior Redmen at North Toronto. Gaels won their game, but Redmen went down to defeat. Crowds at both games en- joyed the action. The setups were somewhat similar. Mimico had beaten Gaels the previous week in a junior en- gagement, Redmen had topped the Maple Leafs the pre- vious week in their senior contest. This week, the shoe was on the other foot. MOUNTIES THIS week were no match for the hungry young charges of Bishop. Although short several players, Gaels never let up, romping to a fast 5-0 lead. Mimico goalkeeper Don Crocker, who had heen terrific the previ- ous week. against Gaels, suddenly developed the amazing habit of being where they weren't, but, unfortunately for him. the shots were right on the net. A change of goalkeepers pepped up the Mounties some- what, but they found the combination of Merv Marshall and Gaylord Powless just a little too much. Marshall, who watched helplessly as one shot was fired into his open net while he was in the corner, and then held his breath while a loose ball rolled past the net, was more than equal to the task when the pressure was at its greatest, in the third period when Mounties pulled 'o within two goals of a tie. WHAT MARSHALL didn't accomplish, Powless, along with Neil Armstrong and Jim Higgs did. They broke up several last ditch efforts by the Mounties, and were instru- mental in Gaels coming home with a share of first place. Gaels play Long Branch here tonight, This is a makeup of the game originally scheduled for Wednesday. Neither team wished to play because of high school exams. Toronto Maple Leafs have an exciting club for their fans, and with a new building available in the north end of the city, lacrosse is drawing fresh support from people who didn't know what the game pras all about last year. It's a pity the North Toronto arena doesn't seat more than 1,000 because, within weeks, they could be knocking down the doors trying to get into the building. As it is, standing- room-only crowds attended recent games. And the team is getting excellent coverage from the Toronto press. OLA OFFICIALS were more than a little disturbed over the fact St. Catharines turned up in Brooklin last Saturday with a skeleton squad, and even then, it was a skinny skeleton. The top brass had St. Kitts' officials' on the carpet Monday and laid it on the line, 'either get a full team or get out." Athletic officials promised to im- plement their roster, and apparently they must have, scor- ing their first win of the season Wednesday. They'll be in Brooklin tonight, with a full team, and Redmen aren't expecting as easy a time as they had last Saturday. WHILE LACROSSE has caught the fancy of quite a few new fans, don't forget there are other attractions going on worth your attention. Oshawa has an entry in one of Canada's outstanding junior basebal! circuits, the Leaside League, and there are games every Saturday afternoon at Kinsmen Stadium. With a little spectator interest, who knows, they might get around to putting a new grandstand in the park. Which might also make it possible to bring in a few outstanding attractions, such as the House of David team There's softball action galore every evening, at Alex- andra Park and North Oshawa Park, not to mention the countless minor baseball, softball and lacrosse games each evening. Granted, it can keep a father and mother active trying to watch two or three sons playing in separate leagues, but let's face it, it's one way of keeping in shape. Just think of the exercise you can get diamond hopping at Alexandra Park! BEING NEW TO Oshawa, I haven't had an opportun- fiy to meet all of the various league officials, but in the coming weeks we'll be getting together. A suggestion to all, however. It makes it easier on our staff if your game reports are turned in promptly, neatly, and above all else, with first and last names, along with any pertinent information. 1,400 COMPETITORS EXPECTED Jamaica Prep For Sports Invasion By CY FOX KINGSTON, Jamaica (CP) This Caribbean Island is gear- ing for a summer sports ex- travaganza that will bring 1,406 athletes --and from at least 39 countries. The event is the eighth British Empire and Common- wealth Games scheduled for officials | this sun-drenched city Aug. | 4-13, Prince Philip will open the Games in the 35,000-seat Na- tional Stadium. He is also expected to bring a polo team with him for exhibition matches during the festival. "The machinery is really ticking and we're in high gear," says Herbert Macdon- ald, chief games organizer. Sitting in a bustling office atop the oval-shaped stadium opened in 1962 to honor Ja- maica's attainment that year of full independence, Macdon- | two- in ald barked telephoned orders | to a staff of 21. He reported that bookings of reserved seats--there are 5,000 of them in the stadium-- are going well and that none will be left by Games time, The setting for the Games is spectacular, One side of the scene is dominated by huge green hills. The other side stretched off into a view of stretched Kingston town and the tropical sea beyond, Summer temperatures in Kingston average 76 to 94 in the mornings and early after- noons and from 92 down to 73 in late day and into the eve- ning. For this reason, most track and field events will be held in evening or night hours. LIVE ON CAMPUS This city of 500,000 is not rich in hotels but ald's committee figures manage nicely by putting up athletes and officials at the bright new campus of the Uni- versity of West Indies in the Kingston suburb of Mona. The university, four miles from the stadium, will be in summer recess at the time and its four residence halls will be free. Hotel. accommodation has been reserved for about 2,000 overseas fans who advised as early as last July of their plans to attend the Games. Another 1,000 will be put up in private homes at rates as low as $5.25 single occupancy with breakfast and $7.50 for a room, also with breakfast. The crowd-pulling track and field events will be held in the stadium, as will cycling and the finals of the boxing. Virtually next door is the swimming pool with accom- modation for 2,500 reserved- seat spectators. By June construction work on a new convention hall in the same sports complex should be finished. The hall then will be used for badmin- ton and wrestling. Fencing will go on in a school auditorium less than a mile from the stadium, and weightlifting in a downtown theatre three miles away. RAISING MONEY Shooting competitions will be held in a park nine miles from Kingston, and an exotic route is promised for the mar- athon race, "ost of putting on the Games is expected to be about $750,000 "but we are trying to come up with ways of saving the government it- self the need for spending anything,' says Macdonald.
